Olympus E-M1 was announced on September 10, 2013, It was termed as flagship model of mirrorless system camera, however even after 2 years the company didn’t dared to announce it next version till now.
We are discussing the list of possible specification that may arrive with the Olympus E-M5 II Camera, we are predicting the specification based on the development trend of Olympus mirrorless camera system.
Which sensor will Olympus pick for the Olympus E-M1 II. The big problem with Olympus E-M1 series is it is using Hybrid AF sensor So
The specification
- 20MP Sensor / 18 MP sensor – We are hoping Olympus will sure implement a NEW 20 MP or 18 MP Hybrid AF sensor.
- Advance DUAL FAST AF Mode / Hybrid AF – Olympus E-M1 was the first camera to feature phase AF pixels inside the sensor. However all the other Olympus or Panasonic based mirrorless camera features contrast based AF system, so we do hope that
- High Resolution handheld mode 50Mp / 40MP – The high resolution mode in not new, we have already seen it on E-M5 II, hopefully Olympus will continue to implement the tech inside the upcoming camera.
- Dual IS – We have already seen the patent of Olympus dual IS system, so after Panasonic GX9 camera Olympus E-M1 II may become the first Oly camera to feature Dual IS system.
- 4K UHD Video Recording at 30/24 fps – Olympus must add the 4K video functionality to the E-M1 II since 4K has no become a common feature among the mirrorless camera.
- Full HD up to 60p / 120p – There is a possibility that Oly will add 120fps mode inside the Oly E-m10 II camera.
- New TruePic VIII Image Processor – Yes…indeed it is the most important part of the upcoming camera that will give a boost to the entire system.
- ISO 100-12800 (expandable upto 51200)
- Dust, splash and freeze proof performance
- Built-In Wi-Fi Connectivity
- 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Tilting LCD Touchscreen
Do also share your own thoughts and expectation with us.
Update: According to a tipster the Olympus will announce the E-M1 II camera on Photokina 2016, take it with grain of of salt.. we will update you soon as we get any new information.

Yes, I am looking towards the EM1 MKII. However, there are two key features that need to be addressed within the context of professional photography. The first is that tethered photography is a pain, particularly when shooting within locations – people trip up over wires! The current WiFi interface is not at all practical within professional situations. Olympus really should look at CamRanger’s interface. To use an interface like that without the external transmitter would be really useful. The second is about flash. Olympus’s current flash units are just not up to the mark, either not nearly enough power or, in the case of the larger unit, not RT. Personally, I should like the camera to work with Canon’s ST-E3-RT transmitter with their 600EX-RT flash units even on manual mode but allowing changes in flash output between flash groups. Surely this could not be too much to achieve and the WiFi thing is also surely just an IT issue. There is no shame in brands linking to other brands’ products. With the cost of aviation excess baggage spiralling, the reduced weight of 4/3rds option is now beginning to make huge sense. I have too OMD EM1s but sadly the above two issues mean that I still have to lug my Canon kit around and pay significant amounts to cover excess baggage.
Excellent contribution @ Anthony Terrot
How about increased battery capacity? We may carry extra batteries and power-grip but I feel that extra power grips reduce the ultimate size advantage. So a beefed up battery could be one of the best things that happens to EM1 MII. With 4K in place I am sure we would require this extra juice for running it.
My Androide phone have a 20 MP sensor… Olympus could do better !!
At least 24/30 MP sensor would be welcome.
@Phillippe that comment makes no sense. If you know anything about camera sensors you would know that 20mp phone sensor and a 20mp camera sensor are completely different.
